Just that aluminum by itself is very malleable.
As with any metal, alloys and heat treatments can completely change the material properties.

I remember when I tried to take it off to remove my exhaust. Very tight or more appropriate, I should say extremely tight! You could hear the bolts "screaming" on every twist when I was trying to remove them, even with the use of penetrating oil.

the comptech one is nice!

I put the red one on my GSR. It wasn't one of those cheap ones that just go over the lower control arm bolts (which is bad as it puts shearing forces in a completely different vector on BOTH bolt heads). The Comptech one had 4 bolts on the mounts on each side that you attached to the subframe...if you've seen the ITR's bar it mimics that. It was very obvious yet very understated.

anyway, I want one for my S2000.
